XOXOX

A/N: I'm starting to get really mad… Because on I put a question mark and an exclamation mark and it only shows the exclamation mark! It makes me angry… Gr. Well… I guess that's just me though… I'm a grammar prick as Shannon likes to call it.

A lot of people have asked me why I hate my fics so much. Well, ya see... If I hate them, then I tend to do better writing them to try to proove to myself that I'm not a total failure (lol). It's all psychological business between me and my brain. :)

Chapter Four

XOXOX

Kagome put the blade back into the cupboard. She put pressure on her wrist, trying to stop the blood. She sighed, feeling the pain throb through her body. 'Why does Inuyasha have to be such a jackass? First he wants to make out with me, and says he likes me and all that shit, and the next minute he wants nothing to do with me. I fucking hate him. Good thing I'll only have to deal with him until the Easter Dance. If there even is an Easter Dance.'

What if Inuyasha never even asks her? I mean, he didn't want her to even say anything about kissing him, so why would he want to be her date to something public? It was impossible. And the truth was, Kagome didn't hate him. In fact, now she was even more in love with him, now that he kissed her. She was just pissed off.

XOXOX

Inuyasha smacked himself in the head for the umpteenth time that night. How could he have been such a jackass? Why would he do that? He really, really liked Kagome, and he just blew it. Now what was he going to do? He couldn't just go up to her and say, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Kagome. I'll never do it again." Because their relationship was already screwed up as it is. As it was, is more like it. They probably didn't even have a relationship anymore.

But just because he did what he did didn't mean he didn't like her anymore. He was proud that he had enough courage to tell her how he feels, but he was sure she didn't believe him now. He really didn't want to ruin his rep, that was all… He didn't get to where he was in the popularity of High School for nothing. He didn't want to lose it. It gave him power, and he loved power. But now he was sure he was almost willing to give it up for her. To prove his love for her, he would do it. If that's what it took for him to get her trust back.

XOXOX

NEXT DAY

XOXOX

"Oi. I'm coming over."

"Nani yo?"

"I'm coming to pick you up! It's time for the usual, remember?"

"Oh… Yeah… Sorry, man, I forgot… So many things have been in my mind lately…"

"Does that mean you can't come?"

"No, no…"

"Okay, good because I already chose my spot for it. What's your choice?"

"Uh, I don't know yet, but I think I might have something in mind."

XOXOX

Inuyasha leaned back in Miroku's father's car as Miroku drove. "Where are we headed?" Inuyasha asked, looking over at his best friend.

"It's a surprise."

"Of course. There are so many candidates. Hmm… There's Yuna, Sumika, Ai, Suzumi, Chihiro, Kyoko, Kozue, Ritsu -"

"Stop it! You always guess so many names, but none of them are right. You think I'm that big of a player? I mean, they're all hot, but god, Inuyasha. I'm not as horrible with women as I used to be. Can't you see I'm changing."

"No." 'Yeah… And I'm not sure if I like it.'

"We're here." Miroku turned the car off, while parking down the street a little ways. They didn't want to be making any noise. They both got out of the car normally, because no one would think anything suspicious of a car door slamming. The two of them walked casually up the street until Miroku signaled to take a right into someone's driveway.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You'll see." The boys walked stealth-like through backyards until Miroku walked towards the vines leading up to a window with a light on. Inuyasha was still clueless as to who's house this was, but he followed Miroku as he climbed up the wall of the house.

Miroku was the first to peek inside the window, making sure no one was watching. It was A-Okay. "Let me see!" Inuyasha called and pushed Miroku's head aside to see. "You're peeping at Sango?" he practically screamed.

"Shut up! She'll hear you!"

"What are you doing peeping at Sango? This is your choice? How could you? This little crush will ruin you!"

"How many times do I have to tell you? She changed my whole perspective. It's called love… You should try it sometime."

"Shut up. I just… I can't take this. I can't believe you're changing. It feels like everything around me is changing, even I'm changing… I can't handle it. I'm going home."

"No! Inuyasha! C'mon! We'll leave. Let's just go to your choice. Please? You've never missed out on our Peeping Tom Night. Please?"

Inuyasha sighed. "Fine…"

"Kazaana-San!" Miroku felt something hard come in contact with his head. It was a blow-dryer.

Miroku turned around and saw Sango hanging out her window. "Sango! How nice it is to see you tonight!"

"Yeah, and it's wonderful to see you. Thanks for peeping at me, you pervert!"

"Ah… Your voice on a night like this is like a serenade to me…"

"I'll kill you, you… aghh!" Sango shut her window and pulled her blinds over it too.

Inuyasha smirked. "Oh, you guys seem perfect."

"I know… I think she likes me. I'm definitely asking her to the dance… Definitely."

XOXOX

"Kagome."

"What is it?"

"Miroku was just peeping at me. I think he likes me."

"Nuh uh. No way."

"Way! What if he saw my open diary? It was open and I wrote in it about how I liked him! What if he knows?"

"What if he does?"

"I don't know!"

"Well… listen. I'm going to go. I was just about to take a shower, and I'm in the nuddy pants… So… I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Okay."

XOXOX

"Stop here." Inuyasha told Miroku, and they did their usual routine to get up to the house. Inuyasha didn't know what window was hers, but if he could find that tree… Aha! There they were. Inuyasha shimmied up the tree first and gazed in the window as he saw the girl of his newfound dreams dance around naked in her own room. That's right. Kagome was jumping around like she was that night, except this time it was to Shiina Ringo. And she was naked.

Inuyasha felt the blood rush to his face and… other parts. Miroku called up, saying he wanted to see, but there was no way Inuyasha was sharing this heaven with his friend. No way in hell.

'This is… incredible. I… Oh my God…'

XOXOX

LATER THAT NIGHT

XOXOX

"What's up, bro?"

"Sesshoumaru, since when have you moved into my house?"

"I haven't. I just have been mooching off your fridge for the past week or so now… What, you got a problem with it? I'll bust you right now for this weed." Sesshoumaru held up a bag of pot and Inuyasha's face dropped.

"You wouldn't."

"I would."

"…Fine. Stay here as long as you want. But I don't appreciate blackmail."

"I do. So how was your Peeping Tom Night with Miroku?"

"How do you know about that?"

"Miroku and I talk more than you think we do."

"Why are you talking to my best friend?"

"Just answer the question."

"… I think I'm in love. I'm changing. This isn't how I was a month ago. Why can't I be the person I was before? If I fall for her even more, then I'm going to ruin myself. I'm digging myself deeper into this hole, and sooner or later I'm going to be buried alive. I don't know what to do."

"Me neither."

"C'mon! You're a psychiatrist, and you're not going to give me any advice? That's messed up, man."

"Well I think this is something you need to deal with yourself."

"Great. Thanks."

XOXOX

NEXT DAY, SCHOOL

XOXOX

(a/n: yeah, I realized that the days didn't work out entirely, at least I don't think so. It was like Friday, and then Saturday, and now all of a sudden it's supposed to be Sunday, but they have school… yeah, don't ask. I just screwed up, and this is how it needs to go! YEAH.)

"What's wrong, man?" Miroku asked as he saw Inuyasha picking at his ramen. His ramen. Usually Inuyasha would just scarf it down in three seconds, but now he was only picking at it? 'This must be serious,' Miroku thought.

"Oh… Nothing. I don't know."

"Sure you do. Tell me."

"I can't tell you. I already tried talking to someone about it, and they couldn't even help me, so I don't think you can…"

"Is it about me?"

Inuyasha sighed. "No. It's not about you. This is just stressing me out… Yesterday, you know, we went and did the usual. And that girl's house we went to… I'm thinking of asking her to the Easter Dance."

"Yeah, that doesn't sound bad, except for the part where you never let me see the girl."

"Well I'm kinda glad I didn't let you see her, because she's the problem. I really like her, but I'm not sure if she's the right person I'm supposed to be with."

"Well if you really like her, then of course she's the one you're supposed to be with!"

"No! It's not that simple! I can't just drop everything and go to her. And she's not the right type of person I should be with. I don't know… maybe I should just forget about her."

"Well… I say that you go and ask Kagome to the dance."

Inuyasha sighed, then caught what Miroku just said. "How did you know it was Kagome?"

Miroku laughed. "You're so obvious, Inuyasha. It's hilarious."

Inuyasha slurped his noodles noisily and said, "No it's not…"

"So here's your chance. Ask her."

"No, I'm still thinking. How about you ask your beloved Sango? It's your chance right now too, you know."

"Psh… Fine. Excuse me, ladies?" He waved at the two emo girls. "Can I please have a word with you two?"

"Can't wait to hear this pick up line…" Inuyasha muttered.

Sango and Kagome walked casually over to the popular kids' table. Their casual front didn't cover up the nervousness about the boys or the table for that matter.

"Sit down, girls." Miroku said and scooted away from Inuyasha to make room for the two of them. The girls followed his instructions without saying a word and put their trays on the table. Kagome could feel all the preppy bleached blondes staring at her body piercing, and she didn't like being stared at. Sango was equally as nervous… Sitting next to the guy who was looking in her window last night… How creepy.

"What is this all about, Miroku? Why are they sitting here?" A girl named Miori asked, sneering at Sango and Kagome.

"Oh, well it's because Inuyasha has something to ask Kagome."

COUGH COUGH

Inuyasha started choking on his ramen. "What?" That fucking rat set him up!

Kagome looked at him with her lonely, yet curious eyes.

"C'mon. Ask her."

Inuyasha gave him that look that said I'll-fucking-kill-you-just-you-wait-I'll-get-you-when-you're-least-expecting-it. "Um… I will if she follows me…" Inuyasha got up and looked at Kagome for her to follow him.

The whole table just blinked in confusion, and Inuyasha and Kagome heard Miroku start his own conversation. "Sango, about the Easter Dance…"

XOXOX

"Kagome, I wasn't really ready for this to happen, you see, Miroku set me up -"

"Just spit it out, Inuyasha."

"Well, what I'm trying to say is… Uhm…"

"If you can't say it then I'll just leave." Kagome turned on her heel to walk away, but Inuyasha grabbed her arm.

"Will you go to the Easter Dance with me?"

Kagome couldn't even respond. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest. She was so happy at this moment. He actually liked her!

"I guess that's a no. But if it's about the other night, then I just wanted to tell you that I'm really, really sorry about it. The way I said it didn't come out right. You know how I am… I really liked that we kissed and stuff, and I'm just a jerk and I just don't want to drop everything on this stupid social status that I have and I'm really sorry, because you know that I really do like you and I just wanted -"

"I'll go."

"What?"

"I'll go to the Easter Dance with you. I'd love to."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'm not upset about the other night. At least not anymore. It's okay, don't beat yourself up about it."

He smiled a true, genuine smile and lifted her up into a hug.

"I take it went well?" Miroku asked, peeping his head into the hallway. Both the teenagers smiled. "Yeah, Sango said yes for me too! Say goodbye to the old me!"

Inuyasha looked down at his little angel and gave her a quick kiss. This was actually going to be okay. He had his doubts, but now he was positive. It was going to be okay.

XOXOX

A/N: Okay, I gotta go. My grandma is here.
